"After the new year, we replaced our upper level carpets with hardwood flooring and we were very satisfied with District Floor Depot. We are really enjoying the new flooring and decided to replace the flooring in our basement this time. We ordered the same type of floor and the install went smoothly. It’s great that we know where to go and what to expect. District Floor Depot once again exceeded our expectations."

"Daniel and his crew were very professional. He explained exactly what he was going to do. Very reasonable price. My carpets look like new. Even the high traffic areas look great. I would hire Daniel to clean the carpets in my house again."

"Total flooring is great. I would highly recommend them for any carpet installation. I also had them stretch the wall to wall carpeting upstairs. It looks so much better now. Sebastian was professional, competent, experienced, and easy to work with. His team arrived on time and stretched the carpet upstairs and installed new carpet downstairs. The price was reasonable and I felt that I got great value for my money. J"

"Midland Carpet Cleaning was WONDERFUL!! My recliner(especially) and carpet have not looked this good in years. Robert, the owner and operator, arrived at the beginning of the time window and worked hard for 3 hrs on my carpets. He did a deep clean, hand scrubbed the recliner and some of the more stubborn carpet spots and then did the regular steam cleaning. His prices were more than fair for the amount of time and effort he put into the cleaning. I highly recommend"

"From the very first point of contact, LJSC was professional, responsive, and provided a very reasonably priced quote. They were also incredibly accommodating when I asked if they could come the very next day on short notice ? which I really appreciated. Juan, who handled the service, was extremely professional and did a thorough job. My carpet and couch are both high-traffic areas that needed serious attention, and he tackled them with care and skill. I had several tough spots caused by my cat and kids, and Juan was able to get them out completely. I?m extremely happy with the results and will definitely be recommending LJSC to others. I?ll also be using their services again in the future!"

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

Carpet glue is very sticky, but it's not permanent. The glue usually lasts as long as a typical carpet installation, which is five to 15 years. For the best results, you should always use the right type of carpet glue for the area you're using it in. There are carpet glues for high-traffic areas, which are more high-quality and durable than others.

It is not recommended to install or stretch a carpet without a power stretcher. Skipping essential tools like a power stretcher and a knee kicker will likely result in an improper installation, leaving you with wrinkles, creases, and an unappealing final look. While a knee kicker can provide some limited stretching for thinner carpets, it is not a proper substitute. Attempting to stretch a carpet by hand or with homemade tools can also shorten its lifespan. For the best results, you should buy or rent a stretcher. If you do not want to use a stretcher, it is better to hire a professional for the installation.

Installing carpet over carpet may affect the warranty of the new carpet. Check with the manufacturer or retailer regarding their warranty policies. Many warranties stipulate specific installation guidelines, and installing carpet over carpet may not comply with these requirements. Voiding the warranty due to improper installation methods can leave you without help in case of issues or defects with the new carpet.

While it is possible to install carpet yourself, it is a challenging DIY project that requires precise measurement, proper cutting skills, and knowledge of correct installation techniques. The process involves multiple steps, including removing old flooring, installing underlayment and tack strips, and stretching the carpet to prevent wrinkles, which can take several days to complete.

Before starting, consider these factors:

  • Warranty: Many manufacturers' warranties are voided if the carpet is not installed by a professional.

  • Tools: You will need to buy or rent specialized equipment like a knee kicker, carpet stretcher, and seam roller.

  • Complexity: DIY installation is most suitable for simple, straightforward rooms. Projects involving stairs or floor vents are significantly more difficult.

  • Cost: While you can save on labor, the cost of tools plus the risk of expensive mistakes—which may require re-installation—can make hiring a professional more cost-effective in the long run.

Given the potential for errors, voided warranties, and the need for special tools, hiring a local carpet installer is often recommended to ensure the job is done correctly and safely.

Avoid placing carpet in the bathroom or the kitchen. After all, moisture is no friend to carpeting. Beyond that, it’s down to personal preference. Some people dislike when a garage or basement features carpet, but others enjoy it.
